[Commlist] Call for participants for Generic Visuals, Journalism, and Misinformation workshop

We are inviting applications for the below workshop on the 14^th of June 
in London, UK, an opportunity for free training from Full Fact, one of 
the world’s leading fact-checking organisations, on the role of news 
images in misinformation.

Generic Visuals, Journalism, and Misinformation

Generic visuals are images which have standardized formats and 
appearances, which perform particular design functions, and which 
circulate with increasing frequency in the news media. This workshop 
focuses on the role that generic visuals play in the production and 
reception of news. How do these aesthetic forms assemble publics and 
influence the way people think about political and personal issues? What 
is the relationship between generic visuals and misinformation? Join the 
workshop “Generic Visuals, Journalism, and Misinformation” at__The 
Foundry, the London offices of Full Fact. The Generic Visuals in the 
News project team and Full Fact educators will be there to answer these 
questions, talk about project findings, and more during this 
participatory / interactive series of workshops.

The workshop will close with the launch of an exhibition from the 
Generic Visuals in the News project in the atrium of The Foundry.

Generic Visuals in the News is funded by the AHRC and led by Professors 
Giorgia Aiello, Chris W Anderson, and Helen Kennedy.
